Love this analogy!


Posted: Jun 18, 2016

If one child on the playground has a stick and is hitting the other children with it, do you take the stick away or arm all the other children with sticks?

I like this analogy! - sm

If you have a herd of sheep surrounded by wolves with long teeth and you have some sheep who are armed sheepdogs, do you take away all the sheepdogs and leave the sheep alone with the long-toothed wolves?

Same analogy I think. - HA

A semiautomatic long gun on the black market can be had for about $34,000. The same gun in the US is under $800.

Maybe all the other children with sticks will protect the one being - bullied by the bad guy with the stick.

All the others with sticks aren't bad, just the bully.

Maybe all the other children would together... - sm

realize that they could overcome one child with a stick. Realistically, a stick is not a deadly weapon that rapidly shoots large magazines of high velocity bullets without reloading, instantaneously killing and maiming so many in a very short time. Can't we at least try to make it more difficult for terrorists to get these weapons. It is much too easy now.

Terrorists are not law abiding citizens. They will get weapons - on the black market. There are already

over 25,000 gun laws on the books. Even with background checks, the info has to be entered into a database and that's the responsibility of the fedgov, which obviously failed. They are 6 months behind as it is now.
Yes, they always will. But we don't need to - turn everyday people into - msg

potential terrorists, as well.

Love this strawman! - sm

You take the stick away from the child who doesn't know how to use it peacefully. (Sort of like the federal laws designed to ensure that criminals don't get guns.)

You don't infringe on the rights of the other children to pick up or own sticks and play with them, as long as they don't attack each other.

Take all the sticks away and the bully will use a rock or something - else.

Tea Party Republicans Love Love Love Ted CruzOct 18, 2013
even among Republicans, according to a survey from Pew Research. But the group is still potent within the Republican Party — which means that Sen. Ted Cruz gets a bit of good news on an otherwise bleak day. "Tea Party" is a necessarily vague affiliation. There are members of Tea Party groups, of course, but Pew largely had to allow poll respondents to self identify. And a lot of Republicans did so. About four-in-ten (41%) Republicans and Republican leaners agree with the Tea Pa ...

Next, I get a bill from Verizon crediting me for service I didn't use, and took my final bill down to $16 instead of $56. So, they owe me a credit, right? Yesterday, I got a bi ...
